What is the Difference Between Brent, WTI, and Other Oils?

Brent crude, sourced from the North Sea, represents nearly two-thirds of global futures trading and serves as the international benchmark. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the U.S. standard, has distinct characteristics tailored to domestic markets. Dubai/Oman Crude is the Middle Eastern benchmark, predominantly consumed in Asia. Energy trading involves analyzing market trends, production levels, economic indicators, and global activity, making it a complex process.
